If serious beach time is what you desire, then Bocas del Toro has one just right for you. Tranquilo Bay is centrally located in the heart of the archipelago, which makes it possible to visit a different beach everyday during your stay.

The western Caribbean slope of the Talamanca range, Tranquilo Bay's backyard, is home to roughly 600 species of birds. In the areas we explore from our comfortable facility the altitude ranges from 7,000 feet to sea level, and nearly 500 species of birds can be found.

Tranquilo Bay rests on a nature preserve of over 200 acres. In less than a week you might see white faced monkeys, night monkeys, two and three toed sloths, iguanas, caiman, blue morph butterflies, a variety of frogs and lizards.

Walking through the jungle is a surreal and vivid experience. As you enter beneath the rainforest canopy, cool moist air and profound shade envelop all within. Surprisingly dark inside, a slight feeling of insignificance begins to sharpen your awareness.

Tranquilo Bay rests on a nature preserve of over 100 acres. In less than a week you might see white faced monkeys, night monkeys, two and three toed sloths, iguanas, caiman, blue morph butterflies, a variety of frogs and lizards.

Tranquilo Bay is surrounded by national parks and protected areas creating 1.4 million contiguous acres, the single largest remaining tract of virgin forest unit in Central America. Extending from the continental divide to the Caribbean Sea, this pristine forest covers all five altitudinal zones known to the tropics. Bocas del Toro is an explorer's dreamland and still one of the wildest, most biologically diverse places on Earth.

We explore these areas from the comfort of our facility and often cross three or more ecosystems in a single excursion. Our expeditions into the parks are designed to cover a diverse range of flora, fauna and terrain. Each excursion will be tailored to meet your group's areas of interest, experience, and physical abilities. A knowledgeable guide, equipped with appropriate equipment and extensive experience in the area, will accompany your group on all excursions. Most land explorations have a post-breakfast departure and include a picnic lunch in the field. Some birding excursions require an early morning departure.
